All my sketches have a connection between them in my project i tried to get some influences on the objects provided on the sheet and create a fantasy world where the allies in this case the "Guardians of the Light" fight the "Destroyers of Energy", so like in many films or games before, i tried to create a world where humans fight the machines.

This idea was created by trying to connect both worlds together while at first is the enemies' HQ a structure where light is difficult to penetrate thats why the shelter, and secondly i created some enemies the began by being allies but after to much time living on the shadows became enemies.

In here, I have some more enemies structures and machines, one being a spy plane and other is a what the enemies worship the more , the source of power, oil and metal.

In this page, i drew some more robots whose life were changed by nature so they swapped sides.

This are some more sketches where I created some evil creatures and some more structures to back up my whole idea of fantasy world where nature and the "guardians of the light" fight against the machines or i would say the destroyers of nature.

This is one of my main ideas which was to create a robot with aspects from Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands and create a devil machine with it.

In this Page, i used as main idea the bulbs as source of energy to move the machines and as well created what i like to call " a guardian of light ", also the idea of renewing energy is presented in the structure on the left corner.

As part of my course starting next september I have a project to do by the first day of Uni, which i find it as a good warm up from Holidays ( not really for me), but finishing all the sketches i came up with the 3 final ideas now just develop them more and voila!!

I have been a bit busy lately, with work, to send them to the blog, as all my stuff ( computer, scanner, etc.) is in my new house in rochester and i will only have access to it when i move in, but with no more excuses i will keep you updated with the drawings as soon as i can !
